The Iceberg Effect Infected Colonized 11 11/27/2020

People who carry bacteria without evidence of infection (fever, increased white blood cell count) are colonized If an infection develops, it is usually from bacteria that colonize patients Bacteria that colonize patients can be transmitted from one patient to another by the hands of healthcare workers n n n ~ Bacteria can be transmitted even if the patient is not infected ~ 12 11/27/2020
